CT Legacy Portfolio: CTOPI
CTOPI is a private equity real estate fund that we sponsored and formed in 2007. The fund invested $491.5 million in 39 transactions between 2007 and 2012, of which $291.8 million has been realized and $199.7 million remains outstanding (carried at 137% of cost) as of June 30, 2013.
The carried interest in CTOPI entitles us to earn incentive compensation in an amount equal to 17.7% of the fund’s profits, after a 9% preferred return and 100% return of capital to the CTOPI limited partners.
• We own a net 55% of the carried interest of CTOPI’s general partner; the remaining 45% is payable under incentive awards to our former employees.
As of June 30, 2013, Blackstone Mortgage Trust was allocated $13.5 million of carried interest from CTOPI based on a hypothetical liquidation of the fund, reduced by tax-advance distributions received for a net asset of $12.1 million. Other than tax-advance distributions, we have not received any cash payments from CTOPI.
• The net carried interest allocation of $12.1 million, increased $1.7 million from 1Q, and is based on the fair value of CTOPI’s net assets.
• Recognition of the revenue related to the CTOPI carried interest has been deferred, resulting in no contribution to book value from the $12.7 million of net carried interest.
